Winnipeg Public Library provides each membership cardholder five (5) streaming videos from Kanopy every month. These are tracked using play credits, which decline by one every time you start watching a video using Kanopy. The number of play credits you have remaining are displayed after you sign in with your Kanopy ID and select your library.

Each video is one (1) play credit and the credit is deducted as soon as you press play. Please note: there are no trailers on Kanopy; if you press a play button the full movie will start playing and a play credit will be deducted.

On Winnipeg Public Library's Kanopy website, the play credit indicator looks like this:

Additionally, there is a monthly spending cap for the entire Winnipeg Public Library system in order to plan and control spending.
